We were sitting in the living room this morning, marveling at our sons ability to entertain himself with the curtain, when I noticed the dew still on the grass with the sun illuminating each single droplet.

In some spots you could make out thin lines of spider web going from blade to blade.

Before my son noticed I was gone, I popped out with my macro lense to snap the dew before it evaporated.

If you drive just 2.5 hour south of Auckland you may find yourself in Hobbiton.

We went on a short road trip for our 5th wedding anniversary. Nana and Poppa got to look after the baby for a day while we enjoyed a damp visit to the set of Hobbiton. The good thing about the wet weather is that our tour group only had 10 people in it :)

The tour is about 2 hours long and worth doing, especially if you are a fan of Tolkien's tales.

We even got to drink a beer in the Green Dragon!
